Grobmyer, a Little Rock lawyer and former Clinton golfing buddy, last year got virtually free range of the Executive Mansion to push the idea for a company he represented. Even though he was shot down in the end, Grobmyer made bridge-building history: his project combined Baker, the firm's counsel; Alex Copson, a sometime bass player with the British rock band Iron Butterfly; and Dan Murphy, a retired admiral who had held top jobs in the CIA and the Bush vice presidency. Grobmyer's plan was heard far and wide: it reached Clinton twice by letter, and it landed...
...turning point came in a meeting last Wednesday night. Flinn's lawyer, Frank Spinner, was in his room at the Best Western Safari Inn in Minot, N.D., when the call came from Washington: no way was Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall about to let Flinn resign with an honorable discharge.

"She was devastated," Duncan says, especially because the Air Force p.r. officer had apparently released the information without advising Flinn first. "She hadn't thought the Air Force would treat her that way." Duncan viewed Flinn as "competent, careful, capable of handling external emergencies and unequipped from her training in the Air Force Academy to deal with personal emergencies. I think the academy prepares pilots and military personnel. What they...
Hail to a new addition to the fractured First Family. The President's half-brother Roger Clinton fathered a daughter out of wedlock in 1990, before he met current wife Molly. His lawyer said last week Clinton has been paying $500 a month in child support since December, but the child's mother now wants $1,100 a month and $78,000 in back payments...
